This is what you’re here for. Nation Takes are opinion pieces from our voices of the nation, ranging over a variety of topics. Who’s good, who’s bad, why did the team do this, why didn’t they do that, and what do they have to do to get better. In here, you’ll find all the answers to questions you didn’t even know you had.
